About Me

 
 

Bio

Born and raised on Florida’s Gulf Coast, I’ve spent my entire life pursuing creative endeavors—drawing, graphic design, filmmaking, songwriting & music production, web design. I’ve received numerous awards and recognition for my work and my performance.

One of my most standout traits is my attention to detail which I utilize to ensure the highest possible quality. I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with other talented people on challenging projects.

In recent years I have migrated from a creative role into a project management role. My years of experience in different areas of marketing, design, and business have allowed me to establish myself as an authority in my work teams by sharing my knowledge.

When I’m not jumping onto another creative project, I spend most of my free time writing and recording music in my home studio. I have two cats that I love more than anything else on this planet—Penny & The Dude.
